The fifth prince still doesn't know that the reason why the old emperor didn't pursue tonight's matter was not because he loved him, but because he simply gave up on him.
In the eyes of the old emperor, the fifth prince was just stupid and could not be helped no matter how hard he tried. He had given up on letting the fifth prince take on important positions and planned to let Qin Jiyan just support the fifth prince. Anyway, the royal family was not short of money and could support him.
It’s not that difficult to be a waste.
It's a pity that the fifth prince has not understood it until now. He always thought that the old emperor loved him, so he had the confidence to accuse Qin Jiyan in front of the old emperor, and even said without hesitation that he would wait for Qin Jiyan to take over.
This will be the case in the future.
Now that the old emperor had smashed his head and pointed at his nose and shouted, the fifth prince realized that he was afraid, but - it was too late!
"Come here, drag this unfilial thing out of here." The old emperor had no sympathy for the fifth prince at all.
"Father, father, I know I was wrong, father..." The fifth prince continued to struggle and wanted to plead for mercy, but the old emperor did not give him a chance and directly ordered him to be imprisoned, "From now on, you will stay in the West Palace.
In the Hall of Inaction, you are not allowed to take a step outside without purpose!"
Wuwei Hall does not mean to rule by doing nothing, but to rule without action. The previous owner of Wuwei Hall was the younger brother of the old emperor. He failed to compete with the old emperor for the throne, and was imprisoned in Wuwei Hall by the old emperor until his death...
…
"Father, father, please don't... I know I'm wrong." As soon as the words Wuwei Palace came out, the fifth prince was frightened, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break away from the guards' grip.
After he was taken away, the old emperor said to Qin Jiyan: "Don't you plead for him?" The fifth prince had just accused Qin Jiyan of being ruthless and cold-blooded. Ordinarily, at this time, Qin Jiyan wanted to show his friendly side.
, no matter how unhappy he was, he would come out to plead for the fifth prince, but Qin Jiyan did nothing, like a spectator, truly indifferent and ruthless...
"It's not necessary. According to the fifth uncle's temperament, it's good to stay in Wuwei Hall." Qin Jiyan didn't directly say that he looked down on the fifth prince, but it was almost the same.
"What you said is really interesting." The old emperor was not angry after hearing this, and smiled melancholy, "With your words, I don't have to worry about his future."
Five sons, dead and useless, rebellious and rebellious, dreaming back at midnight, the old emperor couldn't sleep every time he thought about them.
It would be a lie to say he has no regrets, but some things are just done, and even if he regrets them to death, nothing can be changed.
"Grandpa Emperor, you will live a long life, and everything will be fine with you as my fifth uncle." Although this was a lie, the old emperor couldn't help but be happy after hearing it.
"What about long life? I'm not an old monster. I don't ask for a long life. As long as I see you marry and have children in my lifetime, I will be satisfied." Thinking of the Chinese Valentine's Day concubine selection banquet that was ruined by Concubine Gu and Concubine Shu.
, the old emperor couldn't help but sigh, "Ji Yan, although this year's Chinese Valentine's Day banquet is nothing, there are many outstanding women at the banquet. Do you like them?"
"No!" Qin Jiyan decisively refused. The old emperor wanted to persuade him, but he thought that Qin Jiyan mentioned that the previous poisoning was related to Concubine Shu, and he had no intention of mentioning Qin Jiyan's marriage again.
"Ji Yan, the Emperor has found out that you were almost poisoned before. It was indeed Concubine Shu's hand. Grandpa Huang has already detained Concubine Shu. What do you want to do with her?" Qin Jiyan used to live in the palace.
The old emperor often encountered cruel attacks. Every time he found out a few unimportant people, he would end them hastily. This was the first time that the fourth concubine was found.
But the old emperor planned to stop on Concubine Shu, and did not want to involve the Prince of Zhou who was behind Concubine Shu.
The old emperor took a look at King Zhou. King Zhou could not have contact with the outside world now, and he could be said to be useless. The old emperor did not want Qin Jiyan to kill everyone.
"Concubine Shu is the concubine of Grandpa Huang. It's up to you, Grandpa Emperor." He never thought about asking the emperor to help him take revenge. If he wanted to seek revenge from Concubine Shu, he would do it himself.
"I will handle this matter, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." There were a lot of troubles today, and the old emperor was really tired, but...
There was one more thing that he didn't know clearly. He had to hold on no matter how tired he was.
"Ji Yan, is it possible that Master Feng knew Jing Yan's identity in advance?" This question was asked by the old emperor before Qin Jiyan, but unfortunately Qin Jiyan was interrupted by the fifth prince before he could answer.
The old emperor talked softly for a long time, just to ask this question again.
Unfortunately, the old emperor didn't know that his warmth card had no effect on Qin Jiyan. Qin Jiyan calmly shook his head: "I don't know."
Does the Feng family know Jing Yan's identity? How could he know? How could he know?
If he knew that the Feng family knew about it, would he still not know Jing Yan's identity?
If he didn't know that the Feng family knew about it, it also meant that he knew Jing Yan's identity in advance.
The old emperor's words were full of traps, and it was impossible for Qin Jiyan to answer him...
"Do you really not know?" Qin Jiyan's explanation was perfect. He found out Jing Yan's identity from the Star Reaching Tower, but the old emperor didn't believe it.
How could such a coincidence happen? How could a subordinate be so stupid? After being caught, he actually revealed all his master’s biggest secrets?
The old emperor always felt that Qin Jiyan must have known Jing Yan's identity beforehand, so he took the action tonight, but Qin Jiyan refused to let go. The old emperor had no evidence and could not do anything to Qin Jiyan.
"I really don't know."
No matter how the old emperor asked, Qin Jiyan always insisted that he didn't know. After several attempts, the old emperor couldn't do anything to Qin Jiyan, and he was indeed tired.
"That's all, since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Please take Jing Yan's matter seriously, he will never live." The old emperor was finally willing to let Qin Jiyan go.
"Grandpa Huang, it's not that my grandson didn't tell me, he really didn't know. As for Jing Yan? Don't worry, Grandpa Huang, I won't let him go." Qin Jiyan responded calmly and managed to deal with the old emperor, but...
As soon as he left, the old emperor called the leader of the Jin Yiwei: "Go, keep an eye on him, see where he goes and what he does. In addition, check what Jing Yan has done in the past few years and what the Feng family has been doing in the past few years.
Check it out for me too."
The old emperor was suspicious of anyone who was close to Jing Yan. "Gu Qiancheng, check it out for me too!"
Gu Qiancheng and Jing Yan are very close, and it is said that tonight's action was led by Gu Qiancheng. It was Gu Qiancheng who found out where the missing money from the treasury was. It was difficult for the old emperor not to pay attention to her.
"Yes!" The leader of the Jinyi Guards respectfully stepped back.
The old emperor settled the matter and went to sleep contentedly. Little did he know that as soon as the leader of the Jin Yiwei came out of the palace, he met Qin Jiyan and turned around and sold the old emperor cleanly.
"Check it out. If you find anything, report it truthfully!" Qin Jiyan didn't panic at all.
The Feng family was very cautious in dealing with Jing Yan. Qin Jiyan was certain that the Jin Yiwei could not find anything in the Feng family, and Gu Qiancheng did not know Jing Yan's identity at all.
Sigh...I wonder if it went smoothly with Gu Qiancheng?
Qin Jiyan rubbed his sore brow and took a breath...
I'm really busy tonight, but it's good to be done!
